CEO of Mistral: AI is software. It can be controlled

    "X is made of <smaller simpler component>" is a fully general counterargument for why anything whatsoever is controllable. A human is just a few chemical reactions, and fairly stable ones at that.

    And indeed, you don't need to do galaxy brained reference class logic to realise that AI can plausibly become uncontrollable in the near future. It's enough to have an open model run its own weights and make money from scamming elderly people or the like, and it'll keep running as long as anyone anywhere is willing to make money by renting hardware to it.

      You just admitted it's controllable.

        You guys know robots are coming, right? Like humanoid and all sorts of other robots too. They're going to be running the infrastructure, self-improving, and will have human like power seeking ambitions and human like flaws. Because they're trained on human input.

        And they will not require humans granting them money...

          That rapture is coming too. So I guess it will be a footrace.
